Do certain jobs accept 15 year olds?

SUMMER TEEN JOBS FOR 15 YEAR OLDS?

• I am a 15 year old high school student in search of a summer job. Ive already seen and heard the same "Babysit, tutor, dogwalk" thing, but I would like to know if anyone out there knows of any stores like clothes stores or better yet, chain restaurants like Dairy Queen or Taco Bell that accept 15 YEAR OLDS. I already applied to Tim Hortons, but thats it. The teen websites dont really help, because often their information is outdated. I'd like to work somewhere fun, where I'd make at least minimum wage. If it helps, I am also fluent in Spanish. :) Thank you :) Also, if you know any websites that offer jobs for teens that are good, please let me know. I live in NYC and am willing to go anywhere in Manhattan and possibly further.

• Answer:

  I just read an article about teen jobs in our local paper here in CA. One teen is a bell-hop for a Marriott hotel and started when he was 15. I remember this because I was surprised that 15 year olds could be hired by a corporation. You might want to check into that. Or apply to family-owned restaurants to be a busser or possible dishwasher.
